摘要
Chlorinated pollutants are transported through atmosphere. India is one of the point source countries for these pollutants [1]. In this study the concentration of DDT and HCH were evaluated in air from a tropical coastal environment (at parangipettai - southeast coast of India). DDT and HCH ranged in concentrations from 0.16 to 5.93 ng m(-3) and 1.45 to 35.6 ng m(-3) respectively. The ban on DDT in agriculture is reflected from the low residue levels recorded, predominantly by metabolites other than the parent compounds. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
